More quotes by Winston Churchill
I devoured Gibbon. I rode triumphantly through it from end to end and enjoyed it all.
Winston Churchill
Appeasement is feeding the crocodile, hoping he will eat you last.
Winston Churchill
A nation that forgets its past has no future.
Winston Churchill
Don't be careless about yourselves--on the other hand not too careful. Live well but do not flaunt it. Laugh a little and teach your men to laugh--get good humor under fire--war is a game that's played with a smile. If you can't smile, grin. If you can't grin, keep out of the way till you can.
Winston Churchill
Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the object worship of the state.
Winston Churchill
I love to learn but I do not want to be taught
Winston Churchill
There is no doubt the charge was an awful gamble and that no normal precautions were possible. The issue as far as I was concerned had to be left to Fortune or to God - or to whatever may decide these things. I am content and shall not complain.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
It would be a great reform in politics if perception could be made to spread as easily and as rapidly as foolishness.
Winston Churchill
Great and good are seldom the same man.
Winston Churchill
Want of foresight, unwillingness to act when action would be simple and effective, lack of clear thinking, confusion of counsel until the emergency comes, until self-preservation strikes its jarring gong - these are the features which constitute the endless repetition of history.
Winston Churchill
Far be it from me to paint a rosy picture of the future...But I should be failing in my duty if, on the other side, I were not to convey the true impression, that this great nation is getting into its war stride.
Winston Churchill
English literature is a glorious inheritance which is open to all - there are no barriers, no coupons, and no restrictions. In the English language and in its great writers there are great riches and treasures, of which, of course, the Bible and Shakespeare stand along on the highest platform.
Winston Churchill
Elections exist for the sake of the House of Commons and not the House of Commons for the sake of elections.
Winston Churchill
Give me the facts, and I will twist them the way I want, to suit my argument.
Winston Churchill
Do not turn the superior eye of critical passivity upon these efforts .... We must not be ambitious. We cannot aspire to masterpieces. We may content ourselves with a joy ride in a paint-box.
Winston Churchill
My rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars.
Winston Churchill
I have benefited greatly from criticism, and at no time have I suffered a lack thereof.
Winston Churchill
Now that we are, as you say, 'in the same boat,' would it not be wise for us to have another conference ... and the sooner the better.
Winston Churchill
When you are on a great horse, you have the best seat you will ever have.
Winston Churchill
